Description
When Michael, a schizophrenic, is kicked out of a halfway house for sexually acting out, his estranged, older brother, Chris, is forced to take him. They go to Florida for the summer in a senior mobile-home park. Well-intentioned, but misguided, Chris tries to cure his brother. For a time Michael charms the old folks with his Michael Jackson style dancing. Then pandemonium sets in. Sometimes funny, sometimes wrenching, the brothers try to resolve the past that brought them to where they are. Does sibling rivalry or brotherly love win?
If you liked Rain Man, Silver Lining Playbook, and Manchester by the Sea, you'll love Summer with Michael.

Oh how I enjoyed this book!!!! The dynamics between the brothers keep you glued to the pages I love the supporting characters also, especially the ones in the senior citizen comples. This book will take you through a variety of emotions. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the ARC of this book. Although I received the book in this manner, it did not affect my opinion of this book nor my review.
